Midnight's Children received several literary
awards and led Salman Rushdie to international
acclaim. The novel is set in India, and it takes
place during the period of its independence and
later partition of the country. One aspect that
makes Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children a
work of magic realism is:
the presence of elements from Latin
American literature.
the emphasis on the reality of the
immigrant experience.
the representation of fantastical
themes and characters.

Gabarito Comentado
Right answer: the representation of
fantastical themes and characters.
Feedback: Magic realism is a term related
to works of literature that normally present
magical or mythical elements in its
narrative. Midnight's Children, with
characters who experience vastly
fantastical situations, is a representative of
this literary genre. Although it is associated
with some Latin American writers, such as
Borges, it does not refer to the whole scope
of Latin American literature. And even
though it is present in some postcolonial
novels, as a means of blurring the limits
between fact and fiction, it does not
criticize features of postcolonialism; rather,
it is a genre that accommodates
postcolonial questionings.

Satirical texts can work in two ways: on the one
hand, they ridicule and mock social issues,
often in humorous ways; on the other hand,
satire can, as a means of protest, provide sharp

criticism against one aspect of society. One
aspect that makes Bernardine Evaristo's novel
Blonde Roots a satirical text is:
the ridiculous way in which the slave
masters are portrayed.
the depiction of women's obsession
with beauty.
the use of flashbacks to create humor.
the critical approach to racial issues.
the validation of slave narratives.

Gabarito Comentado
Right answer: the critical approach to
racial issues.
Feedback: In general terms, a satirical text
is marked by the mocking of an individual
or social aspect in order to provide
criticism. In the case of Evaristo's novel,
the text criticizes the way race is used as a
strategy to marginalize black people. In the
novel, Evaristo subverts the tradition of
"slave narratives", since it is told from the
perspective of an enslaved white girl. Even
though the novel makes use of flashback,
this feature is not related to why it is a
satirical text. By adopting a satirical
position, the narrative offers sharp criticism

against the idea of seeing blacks always as
"others", demonstrating that matters of
race are always embedded in discourses of
power. Hence only the option "the critical
approach to racial issues" is correct. The
mocking of groups or the use of flashback
aid in the process of critically evaluating
racial issues.

A.S. Byatt is one of the most influential female
authors of the late twentieth century and early
twenty-first century. Byatt's works are usually
studied from the perspective of postmodernism.
In general, her fiction favors the questioning of
reality. A crucial postmodern feature in Byatt'
novels that serves to assist in such
deconstruction of reality is intertextuality. In
general, this technique is characterized by:
establishing connections and
references to other works.
discussing aspects related to the
marginalization of women.
investigating how texts are defined by
the gender of their authors.
relating postmodernism to a more
female sensibility in writing.
discussing how fiction can be seen as
independent from reality.

Gabarito Comentado
Right answer: establishing connections
and references to other works.
Feedback: Intertextuality is a literary
feature in which a work of fiction alludes to
other texts, authors and styles, showing
how literature is highly referential. It is,
then, as a literary feature, neither related to
discussing aspects of the marginalization
of women, nor to investigating how texts
are defined by their author's gender. It
does not relate postmodernism to a more
female sensibility in writing and it does not
discuss how fiction is independent from
reality. As a feature, though, it helps
deconstructs ingrained prejudices.

Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Japan, but since he
was a young boy he has lived in England. His
works encompass a great array of genres:
historical fiction, detective stories, science
fiction, just to name a few. His first two novels:
A Pale View of Hills �1982) and An Artist of the
Floating World �1986) are set in Japan and may
be read as attempts to come to terms with his
Japanese heritage. Orientalism, a sociological
and literary concept, is often used to approach
Ishiguro's works. Kazuo Ishiguro's novel A Pale

View of Hills is interpreted by many critics
through the lens of orientalism because:
it explores features of East from a
western viewpoint.
it sees the Orient as dependent of the
West.
it provides a very restrained and
delicate narrative.
it describes Japanese culture and
history in detail.
it possesses a narrative that reinforces
prejudices.

Right answer: it explores features of East
from a western viewpoint.
Feedback: According to the theorical
framework of orientalism, the West has
helped shape the definition and the
imagination of the West. Therefore, what
we know from the East is irrevocably
determined by a western perspective.
Many critics see Ishiguro's A Pale View of
Hills as a novel that brings into question
this orientalist notion. In A Pale View of
Hills, Ishiguro complicates and expands the
orientalist viewpoint. Its delicate and

restrained narrative may be seen as a
reflection of his Japanese heritage.
Therefore, Ishiguro embraces his heritage
and, at the same time, is not caught in one
single-minded view of the East. Prejudices
are averted rather than reinforced.
Japanese culture and history are not
described in detail but are, conversely, the
lens through whichthe story is told.

China Miéville's Perdido Street Station takes
place in the fictional world of Bas-Lag. In Bas-
Lag steam punk technology and magic coexist.
The scientist Isaac Dan Der Grimnebulin has to
fight against creatures known as slake-moths,
mind-consuming beasts that terrorize the city of
New Crobuzon. The novel can also be
interpreted as presenting anti-capitalism
themes because it:
sees technology as the cause of all the
world's problems.
investigates the social effects of the
Industrial Revolution.
considers how marginalized groups
can cooperate to fight oppression.

Gabarito Comentado
Right answer: considers how marginalized
groups can cooperate to fight oppression.
Feedback: One of the reasons why
Miéville's novel is considered anti-capitalist
is because it describes the ways in which a
solution for social inequality can be found
when social groups decide to act together
to fight exploitation. Perdido Street Station
sees history as field for class struggle,
adopting an anti-capitalist inclination in at
least three ways: first, it describes the
effects of economic exploitation among the
several races/populations in Bas-Lag;
secondly, it emphasizes the corruption of
the ruling class of New Crobuzon; and
finally, it suggests that a solution can be
found when subaltern segments of society
act collectively. Therefore, only "considers
how marginalized groups can cooperate to
fight oppression" is correct.

different locations and times. The novel, to a
certain extent, can be said to be experimental.
Cloud Atlas, this way, can be considered a self-
reflexive novel because it:
presents the lives of different
characters across multiple timelines.
explores experimentations with the
English language.
reveals the fictional condition of the
story being told.
describes the reading habits of some
of its characters.
compares the ways in which written
works and films are consumed.

Gabarito Comentado
Right answer: reveals the fictional
condition of the story being told.
Feedback: Self-reflexivity is a literary
technique in which the story lays bare its
own condition of fiction. In the case of
Cloud Atlas, this is done by the
presentation of characters who read the
narratives of other characters in the same
novel. Mitchell attests the self-reflexivity of
Cloud Atlas by making the characters, in a
way, readers of their own stories.
Therefore, the only option which refers to

the self-reflexivity of his work is "reveals
the fictional condition of the story being
told". Describing reading habits, presenting
lives of different characters across multiple
timelines are not related to the self-
reflexivity of the novel. Even though the
novel experiments with language, this
single fact alone does not account for its
self-reflexivity.

Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw popularized the
term intersectionality. If a woman is also a black
woman, it means that she is marginalized by
discourses aiming at responding to one identity
or another. Identities intersect, and these
different identities play great roles in the
discrimination people suffer. The novels of
Bernardine Evaristo can be read as works
dealing with questions of intersectionality
because they:
emphasize the extreme ways in which
women are victimized by society.
analyze the role which legal aspects
have in marginalizing women.
explore how matters of gender cannot
be separated from class and race.

Right answer: explore how matters of
gender cannot be separated from class and
race.
Feedback: Intersectionality is a term
characterized by the understanding that
identities are multiple, so questions of race,
social class and gender have to be taken
into account in a connected way in order to
understand matters of prejudice and
discrimination, especially among black
women.  Therefore, only option "explore
how matters of gender cannot be
separated from class and race" relates to
the multiplicity of identity, since the other
options refer to these aspects, race, social
class and gender, as single (self-contained)
units.

magic realism and surrealism, for instance.
It is actually a subgenre of speculative
fiction. In the case of Miéville, we have
stories that present multiple possibilities of
discovering fantastical elements in the
ordinary world, creating a strange and
defamiliarizing effect.  Therefore, only
option "embracing an atmosphere of
estrangement and diversity" is correct.

Salman Rushdie was born in India. He
established his literary career, though, in
England. In his novels he addresses topics such
as race, nationality, and migration. Diaspora, as
well as postcolonialism, are terms often
associated with Rushdie's writings. The novels
of Salman Rushdie can be interpreted as texts
dealing with the diaspora because:
they interpret immigration as a
traumatic experience.they portray groups that feel related to
more than one culture.
they see nationalism as the most
important feature of a group.
they disregard questions of ethnicity
and national identity.
they represent immigrants as people
who deny their original culture.

Right answer: they portray groups that feel
related to more than one culture.
Feedback: The words of Salman Rushdie
deal with the diaspora because they
represent people and groups who have to
come to terms with their original culture
(that of the homeland) and a new cultural
reality (that of Britain), feeling that they
belong to both. Therefore, since the groups
are related to more than one culture, it is
false to affirm that their original culture is
denied as it is also false to state that
ethnicity is disregarded. Finally,
nationalism, as identities are being
questioned, is also under scrutiny.

Right answer: has anachronistic
technological qualities.
Feedback: New Crobuzon is a city with
contrasting features in relation to
technology. Even though the place is built
as if it was a Victorian city with machines
resembling England in the 19 century, it
also possesses highly advanced
technology such as artificial intelligence. It
is not a traditional urban space, then. The
city resembles a nineteenth century town,
organized obeying the rules of an English
nineteenth century town, using machines
of the beginning of the industrial revolution;
however, it is not set in the nineteenth
century. Very advanced technology, such
as artificial intelligence is also present.
Therefore, the city has anachronistic
technological qualities. What's more, it is
inhabited by creatures with magical
powers, and not by aliens.
